Working for Infinity Mountain Guides today I joined Nigel and Amanda for a traverse of an t'Aonach Eagach in Glen Coe. It was warm and humid on the climb up Am Bodach before turning to drizzle with brief glimpses of the spectacular view down into the glen. The rocks have been well scraped clean of lichen on the crest so it is good fun scrambling even in the wet. We had the ridge to ourselves too!

Over on Skye it was even more wet. Donald and Helen went over Sgurr nan Gillean, Am Bastier and Bruach na Frithe before going down to wring themselves dry. Mixed weather will continue for the rest of this week by the look of it.
